The Global Recession and Workplace Malfeasance
It could easily be proven with the right set of data presented in the right light that the Global recession is causing people in the workplace to cause problems at an increased rate, and in a worst case scenario, go ‘Postal’ on other employees. This case study does not prove that a recession either impacts or does not impact misbehavior in the work environment, but it does make a strong point that due to the volume of reporting available in the media people might think that it does.

the celebrity tabloid press is that the business press can have a much greater impact on who they are writing about, and the organizations that are the subject matter will ensure at all costs that it is to the subject organization’s benefit. Again, everything is based on some truth, but the truth to look for that can be learned is not what is written on the page, but what is left out of the articles.
How do we take on the business press from an OB point of view? Everyone needs to simply “put on your investigator hat, ask questions, analyze the situation, and consider the source!” (Robbins and Judge, 2011). If we lower our guard and believe every scrap of information that floats by us on the news or in written publications without question, then we might as well just give up and get a job in the service industry like 80% of the current US population according to Robbins and Judge; service jobs generally require little or no thought at an individual level aside from understanding company objectives and following pre-lain guidelines for success within the organization.
Regardless of current business media trend reporting on chaos in the cubicles or fight clubs breaking out in the factories, sensible businesses leaders must sift through the muck and still make important decisions regarding their company security and employee safety.

From the moment we wake up in the morning until the time we go to bed each night, we all use different forms of energy to perform our daily activities. On a daily basis I use energy for transportation to commute to and from work and run errands; for cooking meals using either my gas range, microwave or charcoal grill; for heating my home in the winter and cooling my home in the summer; for daily showering, and for lighting my home in order to be comfortable and productive. Most of the resources we rely on for energy are nonrenewable and will soon be depleted.

A celebrity is not a person known for his/her talent or achievement, but an individual recognized for his/her reputation created by the media. The phase of stardom is slippery, and media may choose to represent celebrities varying from exaggerated admiration to mockery. The three texts chosen, movie "Sunset Boulevard", feature article "Over the Hilton" and television show "Celebrity Uncensored Six" are texts presenting different perception of celebrities than their usual images - either corrupted by the encircling media, overloads oneself with self-indulgence, or just mocks celebrity in a broad spectrum. Such media items empower and impresses the audience by perceiving celebrities as people who pay the price of privacy to gain well
I can assist the server greatly because I can make sure no one is breaking any of the rules, I can help out the server, and I have been staff before so I know how to do things very well. I will make sure no one dares to break the rules and stop them before they can even make their move. I hate rule breakers that destroy the fun on servers and I can assist opcraft by stopping them once and for all and make sure no one dares to every hack on opcraft every again. Also I can assist opcraft by helping anyone in need. I remember when I first joined minecraft and went on a server and I did not know how to do much so I ask for help and no one assist me. I will make sure no one is going to be like that where they ask for help and no one gives them any.

Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator. These look into what support and resources children and young people with special educational needs need whilst at the school. They will meet with various outside school practitioners like speech and language therapists and physiotherapists. They also keep the parents informed of everything that is being done for their child and get any consent for any treatment/therapist/outing the child may need. They also set out Provision maps (formally known as IEPs - Individual Educations Plans) with help from the class teacher and if available one to one TA. The Provision plan sets out what intervention group/individual activity the child will be involved in for the coming term and what the outcome of doing this should be.

Workplace violence is the main issue in the United States expressed influencing a large number of American consistently. Working environment violence is any demonstration or danger of physical savagery, provocation, terrorizing, or other undermining problematic conduct that happens at the work site. It ranges from dangers and verbal mishandle to physical ambushes and even murder. It can influence and include workers, customers, nurses, patient, clients, and guests. Workplace violence can be discovered anywhere in every field we may accept the fact that it can happen in our workplace too, but the fewer people speak which is encouraging these criminals to prepare of making more atrocity. The occupational safety and health organization (OSHA) have created rules and suggestions to decrease laborer presentation to this deplorable scourge but still many people are being victimized their hands are tied up mouths are taped out to face the reality of what they are living through (OSHA 2015). OSHA’s paradigm incorporates the following elements: management commitment and employee involvement, hazard analysis or assessment, hazard controls, employee training, and recordkeeping and evaluation (McPhaul, London, & Lipscomb, 2013). As mentioned, these elements are basic guidelines in constructing a program, but more specific measures are needed to address specific precursors that contribute to the occurrence of violence and bullying. This would assist in forming the best strategies to remedy workplace violence and incivility.
Throughout time many have had a fascination with serial killers and with help from the media they have become celebrities within our culture. There are many books, movies, television shows, and news coverage to introduce viewers to their lives. With all the interest behind serial killers, many wonder how they come to be this violent. The question is often asked, are serial killers born or made?
During times of economic downturn, employees can feel susceptible. Employers may need to reduce contracted hours or change staff job roles to save money. This leads to staff feeling exposed and concerned about possible redundancy, which in turn effects how they relate to the organisation.
Given the state of the recession and how it might have affected an organisation’s finances, this has a large impact on the employment relationship i.e. due to cuts there be maybe redundancies, therefore leading to loss of jobs.
Celebrities are everywhere in the news, the latest gossip appears in the weekly magazines without fail. Whether they be an actor, athlete, dancer, designer, model, singer or just rich; there is someone out there who is watching that person like a hawk, not letting a single breath go unnoticed. Such is the life of the rich and famous, under the incessant gaze of journalists and the paparazzi. Lives that many people take a great interest in and admire to the point where others would liken this great interest and admiration to a cult-like worship of celebrities. This is a brief description of what I think to be celebrity culture.
These promote not only the products, but also the moods, attitudes, and a sense of what is and is not important. Mass media makes a possible impression of celebrity. However without movies, magazines, and news media to reach across people all over the world people could not become famous. In fact, only political and business leaders, as well as the few notorious outlaws,
